Man Breaks into Oceano Home, Stabbed and Taken to Jail

OCEANO – After being released from County Jail for probation violations, one unfortunate man landed himself back in the clink less than 24 hours later.

Donald Juarez

Donald Ralph Juarez, 43, was released on Tuesday, June 11, and taken back to County Jail in the wee hours of Wednesday morning, June 12, after allegedly assaulting his girlfriend at her Oceano home, according to the San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s Office.

The Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call just before 5 a.m. Wednesday, and when deputies arrived at the scene in the 300 block of McCarthy Avenue, they discovered Juarez in the driveway with a hunting knife wedged in his back.

Upon further inquiry, deputies learned that Juarez went to visit his girlfriend after being released from jail and found Cody Alexander Jackson, 20, of Grover Beach at the woman’s home, where the two men got into a confrontation, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Juarez, a transient, eventually left the home but returned the following day and reportedly forced his way into the residence, where he began assaulting his girlfriend, who began screaming for help. Her cries for help alerted Jackson, who then stabbed Juarez in the back with a hunting knife.

The suspect was taken to a local hospital, where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries and subsequently rebooked at County Jail on charges of residential burglary to commit a felony, domestic violence, and stalking.
